  1. Hi Steve and Morita-san, You are right! I misread the Kanji - 六 and others ... could have been more careful. This is a nice board for me to learn more about Japanese swords
  2. Hi, here's the left Mei Kanji : 貮ツ胴梅沢文左衛門切落文正兀(花押) The reading is " Futatsu Do Umezawa Bunzaemon Kiriotoshi Bunsho Kotsu(or Gotsu) (Kao)". Bunsho is a Japanese nengo 1466-1467 and the last Kanji 兀 is a bit tricky.. I thought it was 18 一八 but Bunsho era only lasted for two years. Anyway 兀 means "high, stillness, cutting legs off etc (??). http://kanji.jitenon.jp/kanjig/3147.html There are two eras written on this Nakago.. maybe this Mei could have been carved later. Hope this will help a bit. Kay M
